Create an itinerary including Great Sand Sea
See the wonders of the seemingly endless sand with a guided tour of Great Sand Sea. The 7.2 hectare (18 acre) stretch of dunes creates the feeling of waves when you ride across them. You can also see several hot and cold springs in the middle of the desert, as well as a salt lake. If you're feeling adventurous, try out the sandboarding.

    The driver raced around the sand dunes. It was like a circus ride. The area had been under water at one time, so you can find sand dollars, sea shells, and the like.

    I don't know where to start! It was one of the most exhilarating and adventurous tours that I have ever been on. Matter of fact I'm coming back because there's so much to discover! From the time...

    I spent the military service in Siwa Oasis near the Sea of ​​Sand. We read about it and heard a lot. One of the strangest things we heard in 1996 is that a military car was found since the World War. It is strange that there are only cans of madness.
